DEVELOPMENT OF A COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC BRAKE CONTROL

This paper describes a collision avoidance system, which avoids a collision with pedestrians on the road as well as the preceding vehicle caused by inadvertent human errors. The system uses automatic emergency braking. The system is comprised of four key technological elements: headway distance measurement using scanning laser radar, path estimation algorithm with vehicle dynamics, collision prediction to the preceding vehicle by safety/danger decision algorithm, and longitudinal automatic brake control.
